QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert RPT to CSV?
Yes - RPT converts to CSV.

Open the .rpt in SAP Crystal Reports Viewer (free), go to File > Export, and select Comma Separated Values (CSV). If the .rpt was not saved with embedded data, the Viewer needs a live connection to the original database, or you need the full Crystal Reports Designer.

Also to CSV: DTA · HVE · XFDF

Why convert RPT to CSV?

A .rpt file stores a report layout and database connection, not a flat data file. Exporting to .csv strips the layout and gives you raw data rows that can be loaded into Excel, a database, or any analytics tool without Crystal Reports installed.

How to convert RPT to CSV

SAP Crystal Reports Viewer FREE

SAP Crystal Reports APP

Open the .rpt in the Designer, optionally refresh data from the live source, then export via File > Export > Export Report with Character Separated Values and a comma delimiter.

Quality & what to watch

  • No generic converter reads a binary .rpt without Crystal's engine; every export path relies on SAP's own Viewer or Designer.
  • If the .rpt was saved without embedded data, the export will fail or produce an empty file without database credentials.
  • SAP Crystal Reports has no native macOS or Linux build; on those platforms, ask the file's author to export the CSV directly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between CSV and Character-Separated Values in the export dialog?
Character Separated Values is Crystal's term for the same format; the default delimiter is a comma, producing a standard CSV.
Will the CSV include group headers and sub-totals?
Layout rows such as group headers and page headers are typically omitted or appear as separate rows depending on export settings; verify the output before relying on it.
Can I use the CSV on macOS or Linux?
Yes - once exported on a Windows machine, the resulting .csv opens on any platform.
